How does that look with the existing BC GUI?  I'm just wondering if the HUD might interfere with the tactical display.

Haven't noticed any interference with GUI but maybe testers will.   

Anyone all done and will get out to testers tomorrow.  Some video...HUD anims lot smoother,  the vid framerates a bit choppy but you get the idea...

one slight suggestion is that you make the side bits of the main view that you would see if your were facing forward in bridge view transparent to reveal a little more of the viewscreen and make you feel like your in the fighter?

Of course I'd prefer to have 180 degree transparency.  Unfortunately, with the BC engine limitations we're restricted to limited forward view. Having endlessly experimented and now made several of these small interiors, trust me,  this is the best game/ambience compromise.  This is how cockpit looks and won't change...

just thought of this, and i dont know if you have tried this, what about making the alpha/transparency layer of the image a gradient from where the front of the window is to where it gets to be messed up? so like 90 degree, or what not.  idk how big the viewscreen is on the set.

Okay I'm going to break these view-related posts with a beta report:

The fighter cockpit is very cool and I haven't had any issues with it.  One thing I would suggest is adjusting the F2 zoom to be more centered on the viewscreen/HUD but other than that I see no issues.  Overall, very cool set and definitely one of my top five favorites.  :)

This is shaping up to be amazing!

Sometimes I forget to check my PM's. :hithead:

Beta report:  No bugs encountered.  Only qualm is the whole opaque side windows thing, but I know there's no getting around that.

thanks for f/b, Farshot.  Yeah, I wish there was a practical workaround on the window issue, but sadly not come up with one so far.

Anyway, for any interested, bridge up here:
